THURSDAY, NOVEMBER Ig, 192S t, DARROW FLINGS AT PROHIBITION v Admits He Still Drinks "When He Wants It In a Speech To Detroit Y. M. C. A. Negroes. Detroit, Nov. 10.—With a fling at prohibition and genially pessimistic comments on life in general, Clarence Darrow, Chicago attorney, addressed .-•1,500 negroes at a branch Y. M. C. A. Saturday. * ^ Darrow is in the city as counsel for Ossan H. Sweet, his wife and nine other negroes charged with murder #ir. cohnection with the shooting to death Leon Broiner, when, police say, * volleys of shots were fired from the Sweet residence located in a ^rhite neighborhood. , • Regarding the Eighteenth amend ment, Darrow said: * “1 used to drink before prohibition moderately.' I still drink. The Vol stead act has not seemed to have the slightest effect on my appetite.” Darrow said that he would not dis cuss the Sweet case, but commented that “it is certain that a district built to house 5,000 negroes will prove a bit too small to accomodate 80,000 now in Detroit. Obviously they must live somewhere. If they move into white neighborhoods they depreciate property values. It is true and I confess I do not know what is to be done about it.” After commenting on the race prob lem in the United States, asserting the “man on the ground Always feared the newcomer,” and that “if a white man went to the Congo he would be hated and misunderstood, Darrow took up the question of slavery. Refelring to the emancipation pro clamation of Abraham Lincoln, he de clared it was “a devil of an emanci pation proclamation.” “Did you ever read it?” he asked. “Well, it told the South if it quit fighting it could reenter the union and keep the negroes as slaves. Lin coln was not an abolitionist of the stripe of Sumner and Garrison. He only resorted to emancipation later. It was not a part of his program from the first.” RACES ON SPECIAL TO DYING SISTER Wealthy Oil Operator Goes From Texas to New York.

James Hamilton Lewis, always pic turesque, but sometimes inaccifrate, says the Republican nomination fight in 1928 will be between Secretary Hoover and Vice-,President Dawes. He says the “two-term tradition estab lished by Washington, will not break down.” - “ALWAYS ON THE JOB” • Mr. Lewis is just 100 per cent wrong in two ways. There isn’t any ques tion of a two term tradition. Mr. Coolidge has been elected by the people ONCE, and it is the elect ion, not the accident of a presidential death, that counts. Unless we have very bad times in America, between now and 1928, and we shall NOT have them, the nomination and election of President Coolidge are as certain as anything can be. Moving pictures compress a great deal of work and effort into a short period of “seeing.” Will Hays says the average eight- hour day of film work, actors, actress es, directors, working hard for eight hours, produce THREE-QUARTERS OF A MINUTE of actual film display. In one big picture, soon to be re leased, a sixty-five acre field was covered with a “set” costing $300,000, and it represented in all just six minutes of moving picture entertain ment. . i This compressing of hard work is not new. Montesquieu devoted more than twenty years of intense research and study to the production of his two small volumes, “The Spirit of Laws.” Darwin, over a period of thirty years, gathered information about earthworms, and their contribution to ’ New York, Nov. 16.—After a race ..... vjlith death io a special train for which { 8 fertility, that you may read <i K - freight and passenger trains were shunted to sidings, Gus Waggener, wealthy oil operator at Fort Worth, Texas, was at the bedside of his dying sister tonight. The racing special train acqpered the 1,051 miles between St. Louis and New York in three hours less than • « * the scheduled time of twenty-three hours of the fastest of the expresses on the Pennsylvania railroad. Mrs. James A. Gilmore, the sister, suffered a relapse Thursday from an old illness. Three physicians and four attending nurses decided that her brother should be tailed ^rom Fort Worth. j t — — A limousine waiting here with a traffic policeman on the running board to clear the way completed ar rangements and Waggener sped to the bedside of his sister in record time. The trip cost more than $1Q,000, $5,000 of which went to the train crew, Mr. Waggener having promised them that sum if they made the run in twenty-four hours or less. , When he climbed from his coach liere and started for the limousine, he called back over his shoulder to the crew, “you win, boys; you are wonders.”' in a few minutes. Fortunately, and most important, moving pictures when the best use is made of them will compress EDUCA TION, as they now compress action. It will be literally possible through moving pictures to teach a child in three-quarters of arvbour, and to teach well, thoroughly and PERMANENT LY, more than the child can learn under proper methods in a dozen school days of eight hours, speni in doors at a time when the child ought to be out m the sunshine. In politico we used to fight about slavery, then about tariff and the full dinner pail. Those issues are worn out, and as Mr. Robert Barry says, political fights now are centered on alcohol and religion. Those issues will pass away, but men always will have something to divide them. The Reverend Selden T. Lelany says faith helps disease, as it undoubtedly does, and. gives a scientific explana tion. Faith inspires beneficial emo tions; they cause in the body “chemi cal changes that banish disease.” Gould The Reverend Francis J. Hall con nects suffering with the will of G6d, and says sickness is sometimes goed for you. When people are wtll, they lack useful warnings that sickness gives. Science and religion are draw ing together. ♦♦♦♦♦♦•> *••♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦<>♦ M ► M ► < M ► EDWARDS AUTO SERVICE Day Phone 365 Night Phono 307 Coal!

All that the big man can get is what the little man has to Ppend. Let him who thinks low wages mean prosperity for the big man start something in China. He will find men and women to work for a few cents a day, but he wont build any great fordwe. Good wages are to a «a tion^s prosperity, from top to bottom, what irrigation is to the nation’s crops.
